Vaild his resplendant glorie from your view,
For my sake pitie him _Oceanus_, That erst-while issued from thy watrie loynes, And had my being from thy bubling froth: _Triton_ I know hath fild his trumpe with _Troy_, And therefore will take pitie on his toyle, And call both _Thetis_ and _Cimodoæ_, To succour him in this extremitie. _Enter Ãneas with Ascanius, with one or two more._ What? doe I see my sonne now come on shoare: _Venus_, how art thou compast with content, The while thine eyes attract their sought for ioyes: Great _Iupiter_, still honourd maist thou be, For this so friendly ayde in time of neede. Here in this bush disguised will I stand, Whiles my _Ãneas_ spends himselfe in plaints, And heauen and earth with his vnrest acquaints. _Ãn._ You sonnes of care, companions of my course, _Priams_ misfortune followes vs by sea, And _Helens_ rape doth haunt thee at the heeles. How many dangers haue we ouer past? Both barking _Scilla_, and the sounding Rocks, The _Cyclops_ shelues, and grim _Ceranias_ seate Haue you oregone, and yet remaine aliue! Pluck vp your hearts, since fate still rests our friend, And chaunging heauens may those good daies returne, Which _Pergama_ did vaunt in all her pride. |
